Can I have them within two days?M: Sure. I’ll send them by air.Text 3W: Where are you going to plant the tree? By the front door?M: No, that would be silly. It’ll grow too big. I’m going to put it at the back of the garage.W: I thought it would be better right at the other end of the garden.M: Oh, no.Text 4W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me.M: Take it easy, Alan. Things will work out.Text 5W: Maybe we should take Front Street this morning.

I live in New York.M: Oh, really? I think it’s a big city with a large population, right? By the way, do you like it?W: Yeah. I think it’s the only place to live.M: Why do you say that?W: You see, there’s always something exciting to do, and it’s never boring.M: My place isn’t boring, either.

My uncle gave me a book with spaces to put coins into.W: How did your interest grow?M: I filled that book and continued to look at the coins that passed through my hands, searching for rare and old ones.W: Where do you find the coins for your collection?M: Sometimes in my pocket change, but usually I buy them from other collectors or trade for others.W: What does your collection consist of now?M: I have over 5, 000 valuable coins which have doubled in value.W: You seem very businesslike in your hobby.M: Well, do you think so? But my hobby is mainly based on interest.W: Thank you for the answers, Professor Jones. I think people will like to read about your hobby.Text 9W: Why are you rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off?M: I’ve been invited to one of my American friends’ house tonight.W: So why are you in such a hurry?M: I was told the party would start at eight.W: Relax.

Maybe you’ll like it.M: If I stand around and talk to others all night, I’ll never get to this party.W: OK. Have a good time.M: Thanks.Text 10Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He searches awkwardly for words and does not talk smoothly. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper he can express himself very well. Other people may fool you into overvaluing their intelligence by putting up a good appearance. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it es to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class. The main idea is you can’t judge someone by their appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover. 【解題導語】 本文是一篇記敘文。愛麗絲騎自行車在寒冷的夜晚從珍妮家艱難地回家。在路上，偶遇一位因去機場而迷路的駕著黑色小車的老婦人，愛麗絲盡其所能地幫助了這位老人……31．B 根據(jù)語境分析，“she wasn’t nervous…not afraid of the dark”的另一個要素是it was only a 15minute ride home，故用besides（此外）。32．C 此前說她不緊張、不害怕，證明她勇敢。But halfway there，她開始感到自己不那么brave了。33．D 由下文的“Alice’s breath became puffs of white cloud and her legs were so cold”可判斷，天氣突然變冷，故用grow。34．A 根據(jù)下文的“she didn’t hear the car”可知她仍在努力地“前行”（move forward）。 35．B 根據(jù)空格前的關鍵信息詞also分析，the car也像Alice一樣 “?！保╯top）了下來。36．B 愛麗絲屏住呼吸，通過車里柔和的燈光看見有什么東西在“移動”（move）。37．A 根據(jù)下文老婦人的求助信息以及愛麗絲指明的路線可知，老婦人需要“幫助”（help）。38．B 根據(jù)上文老婦人說的 “I’m afraid I’m lost” 以及下文愛麗絲指明的路線分析，此刻愛麗絲肯定是說：你“確實”（certainly）迷路了。而necessarily必要地，basically基本上地，normally正常地，均不合語境。39．D 上文有“You need to go back five kilometers”， “直到”（until）你走到T型路口。其他連詞顯然不合語境。40．A 因為老
